Cigars stuffed with pot confiscated during Campbell County traffic stop

A routine traffic stop Saturday night led to the seizure of more than a thousand cigars stuffed with marijuana in Campbell County, according to a release Sheriff Robbie Goins posted on his Facebook account.

Sherriff's deputies stopped Veronica Adkisson for speeding on Interstate 75 near mile marker 151. She was driving a white 2017 Nissan Altima at 93 mph in an area where the speed limit was 65 mph, Goins said.

Deputies Raymond Surber and Zack Daugherty searched the car after smelling marijuana. Adkisson told the deputies she had "personal use marijuana" in her glove box and more in her purse.

In the trunk, they discovered 1,011 clear glass tubes filled with marijuana cigars, Goins said, along with prescription medication and drug paraphernalia.

Adkisson has been charged with speeding, felony possession of marijuana for resale, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a schedule II controlled substance.
